19.
Concerts

N

C

The exact words for these
questions are not clear. Listen carefully to the exact words of the examiner
because a single change of word can completely change a meaning. For example, to
"listen to a concert" can be done by watching it on TV, by
listening to a CD or by actually going to the concert and listening to it live.
But if the questions asks if if you have ever attended (= been to) a concert,
it is asking you about listening to a live concert.

Almost
certainly, this means traveling to places as a tourist away from your
hometown,not travelling (commuting) to work or school
in your city or town.

The emphasis of
this topic seems to be on tourism, although the word "travel" can
apply to simply going somewhere, not necessarily as a tourist. For example,
you might sometimes make long trips to go from your hometown to another city
where you attend university.

It looks like there
might be two different sets of "travelling" questions.

25. Holidays

N

This meaning of "holiday" is 节日, similar to
"festival".

(The other meaning is the same as, "vacation" or 假期. This is usually used
in the plural form such as, "my summer holidays" = "my summer vacation". But
this just means your "break from work or from school". If, during your
"summer holidays" you go for a two-week trip to the seaside, that trip and
that experience is usually spoken as "my summer holiday" not "my
summer holidays". In other words, a special trip made for the purpose of
relaxation or recreation is also called a "holiday".)
